After two months of daily postings, penning 77 posts attacking the foul leaders of the criminal cartel known by the handle of "Conservatism" as well as their foolish, intellectually-challenged sheeplets, Joyce, Jnr is taking a well-deserved and much-needed rest on this most anti of anti-management holidays, Labor Day Weekend.

Stay tuned for a brand-new post on Tuesday, wherein we shall inflict upon Conservatives the hottest of hotfeet withall, and in the meantime, please enjoy this most holy of holidays by clicking --> http://www.criminalizeconservatism and perusing the past postings as well as the informative, yet entertaining Pages contained in the tabs above the banner, "Criminalize Conservatism Now, by Joyce, Jun'r."

Today, I want to extend my warmest wishes to you, the
men and women feeding our families and our nation as members of the UFCW. Thank
you for your commitment, your talent, your hard work, and your service to this
country. On behalf of everyone at the Department of Labor, I'm honored to wish
all of you a great Labor Day.

Labor Day is the celebration of a promise
fulfilled. For generations, the promise of good jobs, fair treatment and wages,
and a seat at the bargaining table has sustained the economic security of
America’s vital middle class.

Labor Day is also a call to action, a
reminder that we must defend that promise to ensure that dignity and opportunity
remain the birthright of all workers in this country.

We know what’s at
stake, and we know what we have to do.

We must continue to get people
back to work. We’ve come so far in the last 3 ½ years, but we've still got a
long way to go. We were bleeding more than 800,000 jobs a month when President
Obama took office. But over the last 29 months, we've created 4.5 million
private sector jobs.

These new jobs will only contribute to a thriving
middle class and a growing economy if we work together to demand good jobs for
everyone. That means protecting workers from wage violations, employee
misclassification and illegal discrimination. It means ensuring that all workers
come home safe and healthy at the end of their shifts. It means expanding
opportunity so that no matter who you are or where you come from, you get a fair
shot at success.

Earlier this year, I was honored to induct the late UFCW
leader Addie Wyatt into the Department of Labor’s Hall of Honor. Addie
represents everything we’re fighting for. The faith she showed in the American
worker to overcome any obstacle is a source of inspiration for me. Addie’s
legacy is alive in workers like Ernestine Bassett, who joined me at the White
House last year to share her experience standing up for workplace justice as a
cashier at Wal-Mart. Ernestine courageously organized her colleagues to give
workers a voice at the company. That’s what the UFCW is all about.

For
me, this Labor Day has added meaning. My dad, who was a proud union member,
passed away this year. When I was in ninth grade, he would come home and ask me
to sit with him at our kitchen table. From his pockets, he would pull pieces of
paper with writing in Spanish on them. They were notes given to him by his
co-workers. There were all sorts of things scribbled on them: grievances about
health and safety, questions about paychecks that didn't add up, and ideas about
how to improve the productivity of the line.

He'd ask me to translate
them into English. At first, I didn't understand what they were. When I asked,
he explained: “They are the voice of the workers.” It was from him, as a young
girl, that I learned about the critical need for workers to have a voice on the
job and a seat at the table.

Today, I honor his memory with a call for
unity and strength – a commitment to keep building on our achievements to meet
the urgent needs of working families.

One thing is certain: the promise
of the great American worker will never be broken. Working together, there's no
challenge we can't overcome.
